Tools for revalidation
The RCR is developing a series of tools which Fellows and members can use to collect the supporting information required for revalidation. Once completed, the tools will be published in electronic format on the College’s website.
The RCR would also recommend using these methods to help improve professional practice, irrespective of when the first round of revalidation is implemented.
As the revalidation process develops and changes with implementation, the RCR will review its tools and would expect the portfolio to evolve. Any feedback to assist with this process would be most welcome. Please email: revalidation@rcr.ac.uk
